Ok, I'm with you now.
Maybe the reason the two were linked together is because both groups were dualists?
Synopsis
PAULICIANS, a dualistic sect of the Orient, whose name was derived from their respect for the apostle Paul, rather than from their third leader, the Armenian Paul, as Photius and Petrus Siculus affirm.
The Paulicians were not a branch of the Manichæans, as Photius, Petrus Siculus, and many modern authors have held. Both were dualists.

I tried to read through these posts to get the gist of the conversation. If I read this right, Bob is trying link Modalist with Paulicianism. I personally wouldn’t do that. God Bless
